This is what seems like an odd bug, but in code I'd thing often-enough used it
must be the expected behavior and I just don't understand. Please,
sirs/mesdames, is this a bug?
Example code:
---------------- begin code -------------------
#!/usr/bin/env python
"""
@-character WTF?
"""
import sys
import os
import logging, logging.handlers
import socket
log = logging.getLogger(__name__)
log.setLevel(logging.DEBUG)
fmtColon = logging.Formatter('[%(module)s:%(lineno)03d]:%(message)s')
strC = logging.handlers.SysLogHandler(address='/dev/log')
strC.setFormatter(fmtColon)
strC.setLevel(logging.DEBUG)
log.addHandler(strC)
fmtAt = logging.Formatter('[%(module)s@%(lineno)03d]:%(message)s')
strA = logging.handlers.SysLogHandler(address='/dev/log')
strA.setFormatter(fmtAt)
strA.setLevel(logging.DEBUG)
log.addHandler(strA)
log.info("My log message:isn't it special?")
---------------- end code ----------------
produces these entries in the syslog messages:
---------------- begin results ----------------------
Nov 21 16:09:56 crmartin [atSign: 026]:My log message:isn't it special?
Nov 21 16:09:56 crmartin [atSign@026]: My log message:isn't it special?
---------------- end results ------------------------
Observe:
* in the first entry, "[atSign: 026]:My" with space after the first ":"; that
space isn't in the format string.
* in the second entry "[atSign@026]: My" again has an additional space after
the first ":"
the colons following are unchanged.
This **seems** like it must be some obscure bug, but perhaps it's some
undocumented feature?
